Destruction AllStars, one of the PS5’s launch-window exclusives, loses all server support on Wednesday, November 25, 2026. Multiplayer has been offline since May, the game is no longer sold, and leftover Destruction Points can only be spent until the shutdown. After that, only Arcade Mode challenges stay playable, and Sony warns even they may not work properly.
Last checked on November 9, 2026. Official Sony’s statement removed the game and its Destruction Points currency from PlayStation Store on May 26, 2026, at 14:00 UTC. It said single-player modes stay available to existing owners until November 25, when “all server support for Destruction AllStars shall be shut down.” Polygon and Game Informer reported the same notice when owners received it by email in May. With the date now about two weeks away, here is what still works and what to do first.
Two official times, so use the earlier one
Sony’s two pages disagree on the hour. The PlayStation game servers page and the May email quoted by Polygon say 15:00 UTC on November 25. The PlayStation Important Notice page says 00:00 UTC on November 25, fifteen hours earlier. Until Sony aligns them, treat the earlier time as your real deadline.
| Region | If 00:00 UTC Nov 25 (earlier) | If 15:00 UTC Nov 25 | Label |
|---|---|---|---|
| US Pacific (PST) | Tue Nov 24, 4:00 p.m. | Wed Nov 25, 7:00 a.m. | Our math |
| US Eastern (EST) | Tue Nov 24, 7:00 p.m. | Wed Nov 25, 10:00 a.m. | Our math |
| UK (GMT) | Wed Nov 25, 00:00 | Wed Nov 25, 3:00 p.m. | Our math |
| Spain, France, Germany (CET) | Wed Nov 25, 1:00 a.m. | Wed Nov 25, 4:00 p.m. | Our math |
| Japan (JST) | Wed Nov 25, 9:00 a.m. | Thu Nov 26, 0:00 | Our math |
| Sydney (AEDT) | Wed Nov 25, 11:00 a.m. | Thu Nov 26, 2:00 a.m. | Our math |
Our math Converted from UTC using standard time in the US and Europe (daylight saving ended on November 1 in the US and October 25 in Europe). Game Informer gave 11:00 a.m. ET for the 15:00 UTC time; that would be correct under daylight time, but on November 25 Eastern Time is UTC-5, so 15:00 UTC is 10:00 a.m. ET.
What still works, and what goes
| Feature | Until shutdown | After shutdown | Label |
|---|---|---|---|
| Online multiplayer | Offline since May (technical issues) | Gone | Official |
| Buying the game or Destruction Points | Not possible since May 26 | Not possible | Official |
| Spending Destruction Points you already have | Yes, in single-player modes | No | Official |
| Single-player modes (Challenge Series and others) | Yes | Taken offline, except Arcade Mode | Official |
| Arcade Mode single-player challenges | Yes | Playable, but “functionality and player experience may be impacted” | Official |
| Refunds for unspent points | Not mentioned | Not mentioned | Sony says statutory rights are unaffected |
Checklist before November 24
- Spend every Destruction Point you own. Sony’s notice says they can be redeemed in single-player modes until the shutdown and offers no conversion afterward.
- Finish any single-player content you care about other than Arcade Mode, since the rest goes offline.
- Grab screenshots or clips of your characters and cosmetics now.
- Keep the game installed if you want Arcade Mode afterward, and expect some features in it to break.
- If you think you are owed something for unused points, contact PlayStation Support; the notice only says your statutory rights are not affected.
Why this matters beyond one game
Destruction AllStars arrived in February 2021 as a PlayStation Plus title and was one of the first big PS5 exclusives. Game Developer summed it up as a PS5 exclusive shut down after five years. Its end is another reminder that games built around servers can stop working in full even when you own them, the same pattern behind Warzone leaving PS4 and Xbox One this month.
Key takeaways
- All server support ends on November 25, 2026. Use 7:00 p.m. ET on November 24 (1:00 a.m. CET on November 25) as the safe deadline.
- Multiplayer is already gone and the game is delisted.
- Spend your Destruction Points now; they are useless after the shutdown.
- Only Arcade Mode survives, and Sony warns it may not work fully.
